    Purpose:These instructions supplement the instructions for filling the engine cooling system found in thePeriodic Maintenancesections of the Operators and Service Manuals listed above.

    WARNING To prevent severe burns from hot coolant under pressure, carefully observe all of theSafety Precautions and Instructions in the Manual for handling and filling coolant.

    Instructions:Use a funnel when filling the cooling system through the fill opening (Figure 1) to preventcoolant from entering the vent hose and blocking the escape of air as the system fills. The system will seem fullwhen it actually is notif the air cannot escape through the vent hose. If the vent hose does get blocked, pinch

    the overflow hose and blow the vent hose clear.CAUTION Coolant trapped in the vent hose will prevent the system from filling to its capacity, which

    can lead to serious engine damage.

    Make sure there is ample fresh air when op-erating the genset in a confined area.

    Disable the automatic genset starting featureof an inverter-charger or other automaticstarting device before storing the vehicle orparking it in a garage or other confinedspace.

    The exhaust system must be installed in ac-cordance with the genset Installation Manual.

    Engine cooling air must not be used for heat-ing working or living spaces or compart-ments.

    DIESEL FUEL IS COMBUSTIBLE

    Do not smoke or turn electrical switches ONor OFF where fuel fumes are present or inareas sharing ventilation with fuel tanks orequipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights,arc-producing equipment and all othersources of ignition well away.

    Fuel lines must be secured, free of leaks andseparated or shielded from electrical wiring.

    BATTERY GAS IS EXPLOSIVE

    Wear safety glasses.

    Do not smoke.

    To reduce arcing when disconnecting or re-connecting battery cables, always disconnectthe negative () battery cable first and recon-

    nect it last.

    MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVEREPERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

    Disable the automatic genset starting featureof an inverter-charger or other automaticstarting device before servicing the genset.

    Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry nearmoving parts such as PTO shafts, fans, beltsand pulleys.

    Keep hands away from moving parts.

    Keep guards in place over fans, belts, pul-leys, and other moving parts.

    FLAMMABLE VAPOR CAN CAUSE ADIESEL ENGINE TO OVERSPEED

    Flammable vapor can cause a diesel engine tooverspeed and become difficult to stop, resulting inpossible fire, explosion, severe personal injury anddeath. Do not operate a diesel-powered gensetwhere a flammable vapor environment can becreated by fuel spill, leak, etc. The owners and

    operators of the genset are solely responsible foroperating the genset safely.

    1. Introduction

    ABOUT THIS MANUAL

    This is the service manual for the generator sets(gensets) listed on the front cover. Read and care-fully observe all of the instructions and precautionsin this manual.

    WARNING This genset is not a life support sys-tem. It can stop without warning. Children, per-sons with physical or mental limitations, andpets could suffer personal injury or death. A per-sonal attendant, redundant power or an alarmsystem must be used if genset operation is criti-cal.

    WARNING Improper service or replacement ofparts can lead to severe personal injury or deathand to damage to equipment and property. Ser-vice personnel must be qualified to performelectrical and mechanical service.

    WARNING Unauthorized modifications or re-placement of fuel, exhaust, air intake or speedcontrol system components that affect engine

    emissions are prohibited by law in the State ofCalifornia.

    See the Installation Manual for important recom-mendations concerning the installation and for a listof the installation codes and standards for safetywhich may be applicable.

    See the Parts Manual for part identification numbersand required quantities. Genuine Onan replace-ment parts are recommended for best results.

    When contacting Onan for parts and product infor-mation, be ready to provide the model and serialnumbers on the genset nameplate. Figure 1-1 illus-trates the nameplate and its location. The numbersin the gray boxes are typical model and serial num-bers. Every character in these numbers is signifi-cant. (The last character of the model number is thespecification letter, which is important for obtainingthe right parts.)

    FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

    WARNING Diesel fuel is combustible and cancause severe personal injury or death. Do notsmoke near fuel tanks or fuel-burning equip-ment or in areas sharing ventilation with suchequipment. Keep flames, sparks, pilot flames,electrical arcs and switches and all other

    sources of ignition well away. Keep a multi-class ABC fire extinguisher handy.

    Use clean, fresh No. 2 diesel fuel (ASTM 2-D) whenthe outdoor ambient temperature is above freezing,and No. 1 diesel fuel (ASTM 1-D) when below freez-ing. The fuel should have a Cetane number of atleast 45 for reliable starting.

    ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

    Use API (American Petroleum Institute) perfor-mance Class CH-4 engine oil or better. Also look forthe SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) viscos-

    ity grade. Referring to Figure 1-2, choose the vis-cosity grade appropriate for the ambient tempera-tures expected until the next scheduled oil change.Multi-grade oils such as SAE 15W-40 are recom-mended for year-round use.

    STARTING BATTERIES

    The genset requires a 12 volt battery to power itscontrol and starting circuits. Reliable genset startingand starter service life depend upon adequate bat-tery system capacity and maintenance. See MAIN-TAINING THE BATTERY AND BATTERY CON-

    NECTIONS (p. 3-5) and Section14. Specifications.

    2. Operation

    CONTROL PANEL (BEGINNING SPEC C)

    The control panel (Figure 2-1) has the following fea-

    tures:

    Control Switch This switch is used to start andstop the genset, prime the engine fuel system andrestore the fault code (blinking status light).

    Status Light This is an LED (light emitting diode)in the control switch which blinks rapidly during pre-heat and cranking.

    GENERAL INSPECTIONS

    Inspect the genset before the first start of the dayand after every eight hours of operation.

    Oil Level

    Check engine oil level (Figure 3-1).

    Engine Coolant System

    CAUTION Operating the genset when coolantlevel is low can cause serious engine damage.

    Check the engine coolant level and look for coolantleaks around the bottom of the genset and on theground below. Minor leaks that can be replenishedby daily additions of coolant to the recovery tankshould be repaired by a qualified service technicianas soon as possible. Larger leaks are cause for

    shutting down the genset until it can be repaired.Exhaust System

    WARNING EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! Do notoperate the genset if there is an exhaust leak orany danger of exhaust gases entering or beingdrawn into the vehicle.

    Look and listen for exhaust system leaks while thegenset is running. Shut down the genset if a leak isfound and have it repaired before operating the gen-set again.

    Look for openings or holes between the gensetcompartment and vehicle cab or living space if thegenset engine sounds louder than usual. Have allsuch openings or holes closed off or sealed to pre-vent exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.

    Replace dented, bent or severely rusted sections ofthe tailpipe and make sure the tailpipe extends atleast 1 inch (25.4 mm) beyond the perimeter of thevehicle.

    WARNING Do not park the vehicle in high grassor brush. Contact with the exhaust system cancause a fire.

    Park the vehicle so that the genset exhaust gasescan disperse away from the vehicle. Barriers suchas walls, snow banks, high grass and brush and oth-er vehicles can cause exhaust gases to accumulatein and around the vehicle.

    Do not operate power ventilators or exhaust fans

    while the vehicle is standing with the genset run-ning. The ventilator or fan can draw exhaust gasesinto the vehicle.

    Fuel System

    Check for leaks at hose, tube and pipe fittings in thefuel supply system while the genset is running andwhile it is stopped. Check flexible fuel hose sectionsfor cuts, cracks, and abrasions. Make sure the fuelline is not rubbing against other parts. Replace wornor damaged fuel line parts before leaks occur.

    WARNING Diesel fuel leaks can lead to fire. Donot operate the genset if operation causes fuelto leak.

    Prime the fuel system if the genset ran out of fuel.

    Battery Connections

    Check the battery terminals for clean, tight connec-tions. Loose or corroded connections have highelectrical resistance which makes starting harder.

    See MAINTAINING THE BATTERY AND BATTERYCONNECTIONS (p. 3-5).

    Mechanical

    Look for mechanical damage and listen for unusualnoises. Check the genset mounting bolts.

    To prevent overheating and to reduce fouling withdust and debris, make sure the gensets normalground clearance is not being reduced by slopingground, curbs, logs or other objects. Repark the ve-hicle if necessary and/or remove any objects block-ing the air inlet or air outlet.

    CHANGING COOLANT

    Refer to Table 3-1 for scheduled maintenance. Theengine cooling system is filled with a 50/50 mixtureof ethylene glycol anti-freeze and water when thegenset leaves the factory, which is suitable for tem-

    peratures down to -34 F (-37 C).

    Recommended Coolant Mixture

    Use the best quality ethylene glycol antifreeze solu-tion available. It should be fully formulated with rustinhibitors and coolant stabilizers. Use fresh waterthat is low in minerals and corrosive chemicals. Dis-tilled water is best. The cooling system has a6.1 quart (5.8 L) capacity.

    Pressure Cap

    Replace the pressure cap (Figure 3-6) every two

    years (seals deteriorate and leak). Proper coolingsystem pressure (14 psi) is essential for optimal en-gine cooling and minimal coolant loss.

    Draining and Cleaning Cooling System

    WARNING Hot coolant spray can cause severeburns. Let the engine cool before releasing thepressure cap or removing the drain cap.

    Let the engine cool before removing the pressurecap. Relieve any remaining pressure by turning the

    pressure cap slowly, without pushing down. Whenthe pressure has been relieved, push down on thecap, turn it the rest of the way and withdraw it. Then

    remove the coolant drain cap (Figure 3-6) and drainthe coolant into a suitable container.

    WARNING Ethylene glycol antifreeze is con-sidered toxic. Dispose of it according to localregulations for hazardous substances.

    Flush and clean the cooling system before refilling.

    Radiator cleaning chemicals are available at localauto parts stores. Follow the instructions for clean-ing and flushing that come with the cleaning solu-tion.

    Refilling Cooling System

    Wet the O-ring in the coolant drain cap with coolantand thread the cap on just snug with a wrench. Toavoid damaging the O-ring, do not torque to morethan 5 lb-ft (6.8 N-m). Replace the O-ring if snug-ging the cap a little tighter does not stop leakage.

    Fill the system with coolant through the fill opening.Pull the hose connected to the pressure cap assem-bly out as far as it will go. When the coolant levelreaches the fill opening, start and operate the gen-set for a few minutes and shut it down. Add morecoolant if necessary and secure the pressure cap.

    Fill the recovery tank with coolant mixture to theCOLD mark.

    Coolant Level Check

    Check coolant level in the recovery tank (Fig-ure 3-6) before the first startup of each day and fill tothe COLD mark if necessary.

    REMOVING / INSTALLING GENSET

    See Section12. Troubleshootingto determine theprobable cause of the problem before removing thegenset for service. The genset is normally mountedin a special compartment on the floor of the vehicleor on a supporting frame. Contact the vehiclemanufacturer or installer if the best way to removethe genset is not obvious.

    Disconnections

    1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable fromthe battery and then disconnect the batterycables from the genset.

    WARNING Sparks and high current couldcause fire and other damage to the battery,battery cables and vehicle if the loose endsof cables connected to the battery touch.Always disconnect the negative () batterycable from the battery before disconnectingthe battery cables from the genset.

    2. Disconnect the remote control wiring harnessconnector at the genset.

    3. Disconnect the AC output leads at the gensetterminals.

    4. Disconnect the exhaust tailpipe from the muf-fler flange.

    5. Disconnect the supply and return fuel lines fromthe genset.

    WARNING Diesel fuel is combustible andcan cause severe personal injury or death.Do not smoke if you are near fuel tanks orfuel-burning equipment or are in an areasharing ventilation with such equipment.Keep flames, sparks, pilot lights, electricalarcs and arc-producing equipment and allother sources of ignition well away.

    Removal from Vehicle

    Make sure that the genset is firmly supported beforeloosening any mounting bolts. There are four bolt

    holes in the skid-base for securing the genset to thefloor or supporting frame. The two lifting eyes are

    accessible through the access opening in the toppanel of the genset. Lift the genset with both liftingeyes when using a hoist.

    WARNING Gensets are heavy and can causesevere personal injury if dropped during remov-

    al. Use adequate lifting devices. Keep handsand feet clear while lifting.

    Installation in Vehicle

    Generally, installation is the reverse of removal anddisconnection. Before installing the genset, repairany damage to and seal all hoes in the vapor-tight,fire-resistive barrier between the genset and coachinterior. Make sure all mounting screws, and brack-ets are secure and that all battery, AC output, con-

    trol, exhaust and fuel connections are proper and ingood repair. Perform the service checklist beforeplacing the genset in service (Section13. Service

    Checklist).

    DISASSEMBLING / REASSEMBLINGHOUSING

    Disassembling Housing

    WARNING Do not operate the genset withoutthe housing panels secured in place. The panelsguard against rotating parts and bare live elec-trical parts that can cause severe personal inju-ry or death. The housing is also required forproper genset cooling.

    See Figure 4-2. The housing consists of removablepanels. The front and top panels include removableservice doors secured by latches or screws.

    Remove all the screws around the perimeter of eachpanel and pull the panel away. Note the sets of twoand of three screw holes in the top panel which arecircled. These are for the screws that secure the the

    air cleaner housing and the coolant recovery tank,respectively. Remove these screws before liftingthe top panel away.

    CAUTION The panel screws are all the samelength. Do not substitute longer screws tomount the air cleaner housing or recovery tank.Longer screws can cause damage by bottomingbefore tight.

    Because of overlapping flanges, the top panel mustbe removed to remove the side panels and put backlast.

    To remove the end panel on the generator end of thegenset:

    1. Cut the wire-tie that secures the wiring har-nesses to the panel.

    2. Remove the two output terminal block mount-ing screws to free the output cables from thepanelpreferable to loosening the terminalscrews.

    3. Loosen the screws that secure the circuitbreakers to the operators console and pull thecircuit breakers and attached wiring away.

    4. Disconnect the leads at the terminals on thecontrol switch and hour meter.

    5. Remove the mounting screws to free auxiliaryrelays K1, K2 and K3 (p. 11-6)

    6. Prior to Spec C, disconnect Controller connec-tors P1/J1 and P2/J2 (p. 11-2).

    7. Disconnect the two air intake hoses from the airintake resonator box.

    8. Remove all attachment screws and pull thepanel away.

    Reassembling Housing

    Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. To makesure that all of the panel screw holes will line up, waitto tighten the screws until all of the panels andscrews are in place.

    When reassembling, torque the panel screws to8 lb-ft (11 N-m).

    Note: When securing the side service door frame to

    the panel on its right, the frame and panel shouldtouch metal-to-metal. Pull the sound absorbing in-sulation back a little, if necessary, so that it is notpinched between the panel and frame. That way theinsulation covers the slots in the door frame whichwould otherwise let some noise out.

    ENGINE SENSORS

    The engine is equipped with a coolant temperaturesender and low oil pressure cutout switch (Fig-ure 9-1). The associated fault codes (Sec-tion12. Troubleshooting) are as follows:

    No. 1 -Engine Over Temperature

    No. 2 -Low Oil Pressure

    No. 23 - Faulty Low Oil Pressure Cutout Switch

    No. 24 - Faulty Engine Temperature Sender

    Coolant Temperature Sender

    The sender is accessible through the front accessopening. Replace the sender if resistance is notapproximately 1300 ohms in ice water, 700 ohms atroom temperature or 57 ohms in boiling water. Usethread sealant and engage at least two threadswhen reassembling.

    Oil Pressure Switch

    The switch is accessible through the top accessopening with the manifold air hose disconnected

    and moved out of the way. Replace the switch if it isnot closed (ground continuity at the terminal) whenthe engine is not running or if the switch does notopen when oil pressure rises to 14 psi (96 kPa).

    BATTERY CHARGING ALTERNATOR

    The battery charging alternator (Figure 9-1) is re-

    moveable after the fan assembly and backplate areremoved (p. 8-2 or 8-3). Adjust fan belt tension andtighten the mounting bolts according specifications(p. 15-1) when reassembling.

    GENERATOR WINDING TESTS

    Testing Winding Insulation Resistance

    Testing for Winding-to-Winding and Winding-to-Ground Shorts:A digital ohmmeter can be used(highest scale) as a preliminary check for agrounded Stator, Quadrature or Field Winding or fora short between Stator (Main) and Quadrature

    windings. The meter should indicate infinite resist-ance.

    A 500 VDC megger is recommended for findingwinding-to-winding or winding-to-ground shorts.Resistance between windings or to ground shouldbe not be less than 1 megohm.

    Testing Stator Windings with a Megger:A 500VDC megger is recommended for testing StatorWinding insulation resistance. Disconnect T2 andT3 from the grounding screw on the engine mount-

    ing bracket (p. A-3) to isolate the windings fromground, and separate the two parts of generatorconnector P3/J3 to isolate the control board fromthe DC test voltage. Apply one side of the DC testvoltage to both windings (connect to either end) andthe other side to a good generator ground (statorlaminations) for 10 minutes and record resistancevalues at one minute and at 10 minutes.

    A resistance value of at least 5 megohms should beobtained for a new stator with dry windings. The po-larization index (the ratio of the resistance reading

    at 10 minutes to the reading at one minute) shouldalso be at least 2. For a genset that has been in ser-vice, the resistance value should not be less than1 megohm, nor the polarization index less than 2.

    If the readings are low, or the genset has been instorage for a long time in a high-humidity environ-ment, the test should be repeated after the windingshave been dried. The most effective way of dryingthe stator windings, if the genset is operable, is torun it under full load for at least one hour.

    Testing Winding Resistance

    Use a Digital Ohmmeter to check for open or

    shorted Main (Stator), Quadrature or Field Wind-ings. Use a Wheatstone Bridgehaving a precisionof at least 0.001 ohm to measure Stator Winding re-sistance.

    Replace a rotor or stator that has windingresistances outside Table 10-1 tolerances.

    Stator Windings:Check Stator Winding resistanceacross the AC output terminal block: TB2-1TB2-3and TB2-2TB2-3. Make sure circuit breakerCB1/CB2 is ON.

    If resistance is within Table 10-1 tolerances, thewhole AC output circuit is probably sound.

    If resistance is high, check resistance directlyacross the winding leads, which are connected atCB1/CB2 and at the grounding screw on the enginemounting bracket (p. A-3). Service as necessary bytightening connections or servicing the generator,AC harness (p. A-3) or circuit breakers (p. 11-6).

    Field and Quadrature Windings: Separate the

    two parts of generator connector P3/J3 for accessto the field windings (P3-7P3-8) and quadraturewindings (P3-3P3-6). Resistance must withinTable 10-1 tolerances. If field resistance is high, firstservice the brushes and slip rings (p. 10-4) and re-peat the test. Then, if necessary, service the rotor.

    GENERATOR SERVICE

    WARNING Accidental or remote starting cancause severe personal injury or death. Beforeremoving a housing panel or access door, dis-connect the negative () cable at the battery toprevent the engine from starting.

    Brushes and Slip RingsAccess Beginning Spec C: Remove the brushblock access cover (p. 4-4) for access to the brushblock assembly and slip rings.

    Access Prior to Spec C:Remove the housing endpanel (p. 4-4) and the generator air duct adaptor as-sembly (Page 12-1) for access to the brush blockassembly and slip rings.

    Checking for Wear:Check brush wear by markingoff a piece of wire at 1 inch (25 mm) and inserting itinto each of the two holes in the top of the brush

    block from which the pig tails exit. Replace the brushif the wire can be inserted more than 1 inch (25 mm).(Make sure the wire rests on top of the brush and noton part of the spring.)

    Cleaning Up Slip Rings: If the slip rings aregrooved or pitted, try cleaning them up with a com-mutator stone while cranking the engine. (Connectthe starter motor directly to a battery and the startersolenoid to a remote start switch.) The rotor willhave to be removed if the slip ring assembly has tobe replaced.

    Replacing Brush Block:When replacing the brush

    block assembly, center the brushes on the slip ringsbefore tightening the two mounting screws. Makesure to reconnect the lead marked F1 to the out-board brush and the lead marked F2 to the inboardbrush.

    Removing the Generator

    Remove the engine-generator assembly as an as-sembly from the genset (p. 9-1) and then removethe generator from the engine, as follows:

    1. Remove the air inlet assembly (Figure 10-1or 10-2).

    2. Disconnect the generator leads attached to thegrounding screw on the engine mountingbracket (Page A-3) and separate the two partsof generator connector P3/J3.

    3. Remove the brush block assembly or lift thebrushes and insert a wire to keep the brushesup and out of the way while disassembling andreassembling the generator.

    4. Loosen the four through bolt nuts and removethe end bell and stator assemblies.

    5. Remove the adaptor casting from the flywheelhousing and then the rotor from the flywheel.

    Installing the Generator

    Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten allnuts and bolts according to specifications (p. 15-1)

    and note the following:

    1. Make sure the chamfered edge of the drive discfaces the flywheel.

    2. Make sure the ends of the through bolts with theshorter lengths of thread are threaded into theadaptor casting.

    3. Make sure the O-ring is in place in the bearing

    bore of the end bell. Grease the bore lightly tomake assembly easier.

    4. Before securing the the air inlet adaptor assem-bly, make sure the brush block assembly is inplace (Brushes and Slip Rings) and that thewire holding up the brushes has been removed.

    Replacing the Rotor Bearing

    Use a gear puller if it is necessary to remove the ro-tor bearing. If the slip ring assembly is being re-placed, install the new assembly before pressing onthe bearing. Press a new rotor bearing on flush withthe end of the rotor. Apply Loctite #680 adhesive tothe shaft and Loctite #747 activator to the bearingmating surface.

    Replacing the Slip Ring Assembly

    Remove the rotor bearing and unsolder the two fieldleads if it is necessary to remove the slip ring as-sembly. Press a new slip ring assembly on makingsure the key is in place and soldered the field leads

    to the slip ring assembly.

    ADJUSTING VOLTAGE

    Beginning Spec C, voltage is adjustable by meansof the control switch. Rapidly pressing the switch toSTART 6 times during the first minute after startupputs the genset controller into voltage set mode.The status indicator lamp blinks once every secondto confirm voltage set mode. The controller will re-

    sume normal operating mode 20 seconds after thelast adjustment.

    WARNING HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE! Touchinguninsulated live parts inside the genset or con-nected equipment can result in severe personalinjury or death. For your protection, stand on adry wooden platform or rubber insulating mat,make sure your clothing and shoes are dry, re-move jewelry from your hands and use toolswith insulated handles.

    To adjust voltage:1. Disconnect all generator loads and connect ac-

    curate meters to measure AC voltage and fre-quency.

    2. Start the genset and let voltage and frequencystabilize for 5 to 10 seconds.

    3. Rapidly press the control switch to START6 times within 10 seconds.

    4. To adjust voltage up, press the control switchto START and release quickly. Each time the

    switch is released, voltage will rise approxi-mately 0.6 volt.

    5. To adjust voltage down, press the controlswitch to START and release in 1 second.Each time the switch is released, voltage willdrop approximately 0.6 volt.

    6. Normal operation will resume in 20 seconds af-ter the last adjustment. The last adjustment willbe retained by the controller.

    Note: If a fault shutdown occurs or the controlswitch is pressed to STOP during voltage setmode, voltage adjustments will not be stored incontroller memory.

    WARNING Accidental or remote starting cancause severe personal injury or death. Beforeremoving a housing panel or access door, dis-

    connect the negative () cable at the battery toprevent the engine from starting.

    CONTROL BOARD (CONTROLLER)

    The Control Board is an integrated microprocessor-based engine and generator control that provides allthe control, monitoring and diagnostic functions re-quired to operate the genset.

    Control Board (Beginning Spec C)

    Location and Mounting: Refer to Figure 11-1 forcontrol board location and mounting and toPages A-1 and A-2 for the applicable control sche-matic and wiring harness. The control board is ac-

    cessible for replacement through the front or top ac-cess openings.

    Connector:A single connector (P1/J1) is used forall connections between the control board and har-ness. When separating the connector, use a smallflat-bladed screwdriver to lever out the catch.

    CAUTION Makeshift meter test probes usedfor testing Control Board connections duringtroubleshooting can damage pin sockets byspreading or dislodging the contact wiper arms,resulting in an open or intermittent electricalconnection. Use a mating pin (PN 3231605) or atest probe that is 0.045 inches in diameter. Re-place damaged pin sockets (PN 323161401).Make sure the pin sockets are fully seated andcant be pulled out.
